Unveiling the Ultimate Guide to Pokemon Scarlet and Violet Teal Mask Creatures

Highlights

Ogerpon, with its four masks, is the strongest and most versatile Pokemon in the Teal Mask DLC, making it a top choice for competitive battles.

Sinistcha may not appear remarkable at first glance, but its extensive range of moves elevates it to the ranks of the top support Pokemon in the present format.

Clefairy, equipped with an Eviolite item and boasting moves such as Follow Me and Heal Pulse, surpasses its evolved version, proving to be a formidable support Pokemon in the Teal Mask DLC.

Pokemon Scarlet and Violet's Teal Mask DLC brought a refreshing twist to the base games with its laid-back setting, engaging storyline, and a multitude of new and familiar creatures for players to capture and train. The Pokemon VGC scene has thrived since the release of Generation 9 games, thanks to the endless possibilities of Terastallization and the introduction of Paldea's unique pocket monsters, ranging from the formidable Paradox Pokemon to the quirky Dondozo and Tatsugiri. The Teal Mask expansion introduced over a hundred critters, including beloved creatures from previous generations and the addition of eight brand new ones. However, the top five standout Pokemon in this DLC may surprise players.

The much-anticipated launch of The Teal Mask in Pokemon Scarlet and Violet created a buzz among players, as it provided a fresh opportunity to explore a new region, Kitakami, reminiscent of the Japanese location it is based on. Not only that, it was revealed prior to its release that the DLC would introduce four new Legendary Pokemon, along with additional regional variants and even a cross-generation evolution for Applin. While Bloodmoon Ursaluna instantly captured the hearts of fans upon discovery in The Teal Mask, initially believed to be as powerful as Hisuian Ursaluna, it does not rank among the DLC's top Pokemon.

Ogerpon

Sinistcha

Ogerpon, the main star of The Teal Mask story, reigns as the ultimate pocket monster in the DLC. With its collection of four masks, Ogerpon has the unique ability to alter its Ability, signature move's damage type, and acquire various boosts. Whether equipped with the Hearthflame Mask or the Wellspring Mask, Ogerpon Fire and Ogerpon Water deliver devastating blows with their exceptional type combinations. From a competitive perspective, Ogerpon in Pokémon Scarlet and Violet could arguably be considered one of the finest creatures across the entire generation.

The Teal Mask's Sinistcha is a formidable support Pokemon in the current format. With moves like Trick Room, Rage Powder, Scald, Strength Sap, and Matcha Gotcha in its arsenal, it proves to be a valuable asset. Not only can it immobilize opposing Amoonguss with Imprison and Rage Powder, but with the right partner in 2v2 battles, it can dominate the field. Matcha Gotcha not only thaws Sinistcha but also deals damage to both opposing Pokemon, potentially inflicting a burn while restoring its own HP.

Clefairy

Empoleon

Clefairy possesses a unique advantage over its evolved form due to the potent effects of Eviolite. Through moves like Follow Me, Helping Hand, and Heal Pulse, it displays impressive supportive abilities. In addition, its Hidden Ability, Friend Guard, enables Clefairy to lessen the damage sustained by its comrades. The inherent slowness of Clefairy's base Speed also makes it a valuable asset in Trick Room teams within the realms of Pokemon Scarlet and Violet.

Empoleon, one of the Gen 4 starters, has often struggled to prove its worth in team compositions. However, with The Teal Mask, Empoleon gained a valuable new Hidden Ability known as Competitive. This ability is particularly advantageous in Pokemon battles as it serves as a formidable counter against Intimidate. Moreover, since Empoleon is typically a Special Attacker, its Special Attack is further boosted by two stages when its stats are lowered. Additionally, Empoleon's Water/Steel type combination makes it an excellent choice to combat Flutter Mane.

Kommo-o

Content must be written in English:

Kommo-o, a returning Pokemon in The Teal Mask, is particularly intriguing. It possesses a range of incredibly powerful sound-based moves such as Boomburst, Clangorous Soul, and Clanging Scales. Utilizing these moves can activate the Throat Spray, providing a significant boost to its Special Attack. This Pokemon has the ability to consistently enhance itself and is also impervious to Spore-like moves due to its Hidden Ability, Overcoat. Additionally, despite its vulnerability to Fairy-type attacks, Kommo-o can transform into a Steel-type using Terastallize and utilize Flash Cannon as an additional offensive move.
